Art Therapy for Gaza
The Art Therapy program is supporting children who were medically evacuated from Gaza tell their stories and provide a positive outlet for children to create and process. Children in hospitals are provided with art supplies and encouraged to participate in ART Therapy sessions. The program encourages children to express themselves through art therapy, promoting healing and mental health. Art teachers are able to provide guidance throughout art sessions, empowering the children to begin processing and healing in a safe and supportive environment. Children are also given art materials and encouraged to continue creating art independently.

How your Donation Supports Palestinian Families
Your support goes towards buying art supplies for the children displaced from Gaza and housing for displaced Palestinian families with children. Everyday there is an increasing number of displaced families and we aim to provide community housing, to preserve Palestinian culture and community until the families are able to return home. The program will focus on finding housing in nature that will provide a peaceful environment that encourages healing.
